Château de Gisors
Château de Gisors is a medieval fortress in Gisors, Eure, in northern France. Begun in the late 11th century and altered through the 12th–13th centuries, the site is dominated by an octagonal stone shell keep atop a motte and a circular curtain (chemise) with attached towers including the cylindrical Prisoner's Tower.

As it stood in 1210
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a steep, grassy motte, a tall circular stone chemise/curtain wall encircles the summit with a large round-arched entrance visible on the slope side. Rising from the motte above the ring is an eight-sided (octagonal) stone shell keep with vertical faceted faces and a low parapet; a separate cylindrical tower projects from the outer wall. The masonry is pale grey limestone; trimmed hedges, paths and trees occupy the slope and foreground.
